I have PT1 BIOS
Power Tune : +150%
Oops, missed that. nvm then. Carry on with this crazy setup. :awe:

Are you using quick disconnects with the external radiators? I think I saw something that could be one, so I wasn't sure!
Hey guys.
Some ask me about some power draw. I did some testing.
At stock 1000/1250, I pull around 1200-1300w from the wall
At 1120/1500, it pulls around 1550w from the wall in average.
Good thing I bought that second 1000w PSU to bench ( I mean tsm106 recommended to buy it)
( I will bench at 1240mhz+ / 1650)
Yes
I also install them in order to remove the External Rad and still close the loop to continue without it.

True, I'm good up to 1818w from the wall with that PSU (88% efficiency) . But no its not peak measurement though. My kill a watt doesnt have a hold button. I took this pic while it was oscilliating between 1510w and 1575w.
The home breaker will almost trip before the psu shuts down.

You know your rig is insane when you have to start worrying about airflow in the room instead of case airflow.
My Valley score actually went down when I added a 4th Titan. Didn't really slow down either in the spots where it normally would have. It's like it simply has a max FPS cut off and stays around there. Not sure what's up with that.
Karlitos, do you have a Kill-a-watt? I'd like to see what it's pulling from the outlets. I ordered one a few days ago, so it should be here shortly.

( I still have more room in the GPUs, I can all run them at 1260mhz / 1650mhz )
For comparison purposes I'll post my Kill A Watt readings. My Kill A Watt just arrived in the mail today. Plugged it in a did some testing. Only my PC was connected to it.
This is the highest wattage reading I was able to capture while running Unigine Heaven with everything maxed at 2560x1600.
Then I decided to load up LinX AVX, set it to 10 threads 20GB, and run Unigine Heaven at the same time.
Yeah I know. This LEPA G1600 is amazing. I actually saw the reading go over 1800W once, but wasn't fast enough to snap a photo.
Thankyou for sharing that, that is why the Enermax LEPA G1600 is my fav PSU, unfortunately I couldn't get hold of one in New Zealand so settled for a humble Max Revo..
Yup...Mine @ 5.1 with just two 780 Classifieds (custom bios) were shutting down a 1300 watt psu during 3DMark runs.Damn those i7s suck the juice when OC! I knew power use went up a lot but that.. is insane.
